Share Your Thoughts [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2602723/fan_mail/new] The world celebrates noise, urgency, and constant activity. Scripture offers a different path. In this episode of Moments Almanac, we reflect on June 10 through the lens of a quiet and faithful life: Thomas à Kempis and reflect on Paul's gentle encouragement in 1 Thessalonians 4:11: "Seek to lead a quiet life." We'll reflect on the simple wisdom of Rich Mullins, and consider how God often does His deepest work not through applause or spectacle, but through ordinary faithfulness. The kingdom of God frequently advances one quiet prayer, one faithful act, and one obedient step at a time. Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:11–12 Welcome to Moments Almanac, a time to remember the people, places, and events that leave fingerprints on the soul.

June 9, 2026 | Moments Almanac | Missionary

Share Your Thoughts [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2602723/fan_mail/new] June 9 — Columba of Iona & William Carey: The Gospel Goes Further On June 9, we remember two missionaries separated by more than a thousand years but united by the same calling. Columba of Iona left the shores of Ireland in the sixth century and carried the light of Christ to the rugged lands of Scotland. From a small monastery on the island of Iona, the gospel spread across a nation and beyond. More than a millennium later, Baptist missionary William Carey crossed oceans to India with a burden for those who had never heard the name of Jesus. A cobbler, pastor, translator, educator, and reformer, Carey helped ignite the modern missionary movement and inspired generations to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth. Different centuries. Different lands. One mission: that the good news of Jesus Christ would reach every people and every place. In this episode of Moments Almanac, we reflect on the faith, perseverance, and missionary vision of these two remarkable servants of God, and we are reminded that whether across the sea or across the street, Christ still calls His people to carry His light into the world. 📖 Scripture: Romans 10:15 "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news."

Be little

Share Your Thoughts [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2602723/fan_mail/new] The world tells us to become more—to gather more influence, more recognition, more success, and more control. But Jesus points us in a different direction. In this episode of Scattered Moments, we reflect on the surprising beauty of humility, the freedom of becoming smaller, and the grace that fills hearts that make room for God. Through Scripture, quiet reflection, and the wisdom of the saints, we'll discover that the goal of the Christian life is not to be full of ourselves, but to be filled with Christ. Take a few moments to slow down, breathe deeply, and consider the invitation to be little in a world obsessed with being big.

June 8, 2026 | Moments Almanac | Wilberforce

Share Your Thoughts [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2602723/fan_mail/new] On June 8, we remember William Wilberforce—a man whose faith led him into one of history's longest and most important struggles for justice. For more than twenty years, Wilberforce fought to end the British slave trade. He faced defeat, opposition, and discouragement, yet refused to abandon the work God had placed before him. His story reminds us that some victories come quickly, but others require a lifetime of faithful perseverance. Drawing from Galatians 6:9, this episode explores the power of steadfast obedience, the unseen work of God beneath the surface, and the promise that those who do not give up will one day reap a harvest. "Let us not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don't give up." — Galatians 6:9 Join us for this edition of Moments Almanac as we remember a life that left fingerprints on history—and discover encouragement for the long work of faithfulness in our own lives.
